Difficulties I've come across so far



The first thing I struggled with has to be when I had to choose the theme of my magazine. I was stuck whether to pick the Christmas, Halloween or Valentine theme. I had ideas for the Christmas edition such as the color scheme, how I would have my model dressed and the short of background I wanted. But I didn't choose the Christmas edition. For the Valentine’s Day issue I had in mind the color scheme of pink, red and white. Have a picture of cupid or get someone to dress as cupid for the main image and have hearts around my model or even a couple holding hands. However in the end I went with Halloween as I got interested in using the varieties of images/icons I can use to base my magazine on.

The second thing I wound difficult with making the magazine was using the software (Adobe CS4 InDesign) at first I didn't understand how to use it but as I played/explored it I familiarised myself and reminded me of Photoshop and Adobe Flash which I use for ICT.

The next thing I had difficulties with was editing the photos. I found it very difficult to choose the editing style of the photo. Finding the right balance of white and black, bloom and color burst etc. was what took most of my time. After looking at the edits I've done, I think that I did a good job.
